Servers that employ scalable techniques prevent the formation of bottlenecks in order to allow the system to support a higher number of clients as function of additional hardware. They are desirable because they enable a growing organization to satisfy the increased demand imposed on its hardware platform by increasing its size (instead of replacing it with a new one which is almost always more expensive [Sto86]). This study presents the design, implementation, and evaluation of scalable techniques in support of video browsing, i.e., VCR functions such as fast-forward and fast-rewind.
